Sister Michelle Humke receives award

The Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers has given Sister Michelle, Humke, CSJ, the Preceptor of the Year Award. This honor recognizes a preceptor who has excelled in the training of students and residents. The award recipient is someone who has a sustained record of significant contributions to training in the role of preceptor and mentor; and has a track record of having a positive influence on future healthcare clinicians.

Sister Michelle heads the Behavioral Health Department at St. Elizabeth’s Health Center in Tucson, Arizona. Though the center has three paid staff and several professional volunteers, the majority of the care is provided by her team of clinically supervised interns.

“Sister Michelle is definitely always available to lend a guiding hand and is incredibly knowledgeable,” says Greg Smith, MSW of Arizona State University-Tucson. “Her holistic view of providing integrated care, her patience and love of teaching has influenced so many careers.” Congratulations, Sister Michelle!
